Central Coast

Get a little bit of everything through the Central Coast.

Home to the howler monkeys and many rare bird species, Central Belize is perfect for travelers looking to get into all things Belize.

Within the Central Coast you’ll discover a little bit of everything: ancient Maya monuments, British history, cultural diversity and nature. Get an insight into Belize’s rich cultural past which continues to have present-day influences. Take up the hiking challenge at Altun Ha (Maya site) where becoming a birder is inevitable thanks to our colorful feathered residents. Enjoy the Belize City tours which reveal intact colonial architectures of the past and the predominant Creole “Kriol” culture of today. While you’re here, learn the local “Kriol” (a broken English dialect). Journey to the country’s past capital “Belmopan,” where the open roads lead to endless wildlife and natural wonders befitting for adventur seekers.
